PLOW.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES'J. CADDELL, acitizen of the United States, residing at Maxton, in the county ofRobeson and State of North Carolina, have invented a new and usefulPlow, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to plows, one of its objects being to provide anadjustable standard mounted in a novel manner whereby it can be shiftedreadily to difierent angles relative to the beam and held securely.

A further object is to provide a structure which is simple durable andcompact and can be applied readily to a beam.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details ofconstruction and combinations of parts which will be hereinaf er morefully described and pointed out in the claim, it being understood thatvarious changes may be made within the scope of the appended claimwithout departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention hasbeen shown.

In said drawings Figure l is a side elevation of a plow embodying thepresent improvements.

Fig. 2 is a section on line 22, Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a rear elevation, the handles being broken away and remoteparts being re moved.

Referring to the figures by characters of reference, 1 designates thebeam of a plow having the usual handles 2 provided with braces 3. Thebolt 4 employed for fastening the braces to the beam also constitutesmeans for securing to the beam the forked upper end of a hanger Thelower end of the hanger is also forked and is pivotally connected to therear end of a runner 6, as shown at 7. The front end of the runnerextends into and is pivotally connected to the forked lower end of thestandard 8, as shown at 9. This standard is curved from Specification ofLetters Patent.

end to end and the upper portion of said fork is mounted on andpivotally connected to the lower end of a supporting arm 10. This arm isformed integral with and extends downwardly and forwardly from a bar 11which is bolted to the bottom of the beam 1 and has a flattened arcuateportion 12 concentric with the pivotal connection 18 between the arm 10and the standard 8. The upper end of the standard is forked as at 14 andstraddles and is slidably mounted on the arcuate portion of the bar 11.A cotter pin 15 or the like is extended through the upper portion of thefork and is adapted to be inserted into any one of a series of aperturesformed in the arcuate portion 12. Thus the standard can be adjusted toand held at any desired angle relative to the beam. One side of the fork14'.' is extended upwardly to form a lever 16 whereby movement of thestandard is facilitated.

l/Vhat is claimed is The combination with a plow beam, of a bar securedto the bottom of the beam and having an arcuate flattened portion, adownwardly extending arm integral with the bar and arcuate portion, astandard pivotally mounted, between its ends, upon the lower end of thearm, a fastening device extending through the standard, there being aseries of apertures within said arcuate portion of the bar andconcentric with the pivot of the standard any one of said aperturesbeing adapted to receive the fastening means, a lever constituting anextension of the standard and projecting above the beam, a hangerpivotally connected to the rear portion of the beam, and a runnerpivotally connected at its end to the hanger and to the lower end of thestandard respectively.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.
